I enjoyed the Top Gear episode where they did a road trip from San Francisco to the Bonneville Salt Flats. As a Northern Californian, I've done that trip half a dozen times.

"Reno: It's like Las Vegas, but smaller and worse."

Yeah, pretty much. It's not so bad, though. More enjoyable than 80 percent of the resort towns in the USA, IMHO. There's good skiing nearby. I prefer South Lake Tahoe because of a) the lake b) more skiing nearby c) more outdoor activities in the summer, because it's not in the middle of a friggin' desert.

P.S. Minus the religion and inherent hate and ignorance, if you cannot redefine your religion, you cannot grow beyond sociohistorical context, and if you cannot do that, you should not breed nor vote. That is all. Word.

By the way that was one of the worst accents in movie history, made me question why his character even had an accent, he didn't have a back story, just lazy writing to distract you from the crappy writing

A friend of mine made the fireworks run from San Francisco to an Indian Reservation about 2 hours from Reno. We were going to stay at Pyramid Lake, get drunk, and light off some of our new prizes.

It was a little cold for early June, so we decided we would head into Reno and make a night of it before heading home the next day. Sadly, Reno sucks. No fun, no party, just over the hill, chain smoking gamblers. We even hit the trendy bars about a mile from the casinos. All empty on Saturday night.

Downtown is crap. Whatever they call "midtown" has some good food, like Midtown Eats and Süp, Campo is ok (but maybe tries too hard). Just don't go too far north unless it's for the awful afwul at the Little Nugget. The rock climbing walls at Comm Row are cool if you're in to that sort of thing, but their parking garage was a nightmare of a rape trap the last time I was there. Otherwise the P-mill, Atlantis and probably now the post-renovation GSR are where people are likely to go, especially locals. The Silver Legacy was a resort that probably would have never been built if the project owners would have paid attention that downtown was going downhill so fast.
